Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 7 oz marshmallow cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the unsalted butter until creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Add the marshmallow cream and vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat on medium speed until the frosting is smooth and uniform in texture.
If the frosting is too thick, add milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, and continue to beat until the desired consistency is reached.
Use the frosting immediately or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Bring it back to room temperature and re-whip before using.
